Duration: 12 months contract

Description:

What are the top 3-5 skills, experience or education requited for this position:

+ Genomic and multi-omic data analysis, including advanced analyses of single-cell RNASeq, bulk RNASeq, and preferably spatial transcriptomics. Familiarity with statistical approaches in omics.

+ Fluency in Python and/or R; working in Linux environments; familiarity with workflow management (Nextflow), version control.

+ Excellent organizational, communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.

+ Experience in immunology or fibrotic diseases especially MASH is a plus.

+ Educational background: Masters with 3-5, PhD 0-3 years of experience.

Job description:

+ Bioinformatics for Immunology, Genetic and Genomic Sciences (BIGGS) team under the umbrella of Quantitative Medicine and Genomics (QM&G) performs computational research and provides data-driven insights for the immunology discovery and translational programs.

+ The team is seeking a talented, creative, and motivated individual for a contractor position to perform data integration and analysis of bulk transcriptomics, single-cell omics, and available spatial transcriptomics datasets in an immunology-related disease area, with a focus on liver biology and metabolic-associated liver disease.

+ The candidate will work in close collaboration with members of BIGGS, Immunology Discovery, and Specialty Development teams to perform omics data curation, integration, and computational analysis.

+ The successful applicant will employ and develop computational tools and algorithms, integrate and analyze complex multi-omic and single-cell datasets to enable a comprehensive understanding of the disease. Familiarity with the best practices and cutting-edge tools in single-cell analysis is preferable. The results will drive target validation and in-depth understanding of disease biology, with a direct impact on discovery and translational programs.

Key responsibilities include:

+ Systematically QC, annotate, and integrate public omics and single-cell datasets.

+ Perform downstream analyses on the integrated datasets; employ cutting-edge tools and analytical approaches to advance the understanding of liver disease biology.

+ Contribute easily maintainable, robust, and flexible code for analysis pipelines.

+ Interpret and communicate results to the wider scientific team.
